Nevada Land Management: New Parks, Schools, Conservation, and Tribal Expansion.
This Act transfers thousands of acres of federal land to local authorities in Washoe County, Nevada, for public uses like schools, parks, and roads. It simultaneously establishes vast new protected areas, including "Dark Sky" conservation zones, and expands the trust lands for local Native American tribes. Proceeds from the sale of certain federal lands will fund environmental, educational, and infrastructure projects.
